- Synopsis
- Managing Global Innovation is an 8-chapter book written by Yves L. Doz and Keeley Wilson of INSEAD and published in 2012 by Harvard Business Review Press. In today's global economy, existing knowledge is the catalyst for innovation, but gathering and using this knowledge depends on global factors which can create barriers to access. The authors provide a practical framework for the successful management of knowledge and innovation by optimizing the "innovation footprint," a framework designed to improve communication and receptivity and facilitate collaboration. The book is divided into four parts that address both theory and practice at each stage of the framework as well as the inherent challenges to innovation. The authors' detailed, practical guide for building and leveraging a global innovation network is based on extensive field research conducted worldwide. In Chapter 4, The Barriers to Integration (13 pages), the authors examine how a company's capability of absorbing new knowledge is critical in converting knowledge to successful innovation. There is an in-depth look at common challenges companies face: a lack of receptivity to new knowledge, inadequate connections between IT system and people, and transferring and integrating complex knowledge. The authors also explore the importance of a culture that enables exchange and shared contributions. Without an open culture, a company can suffer from centralized control, a lack of trust, or internal competition, all of which impede shared work.
